A Sad Accident.--- Mr. N. PIERCE, brother of Major PIERCE, met with a severe accident at the Chicago cattle yards on the 10th inst. He was driving some cattle from the cars to the yard, when one of the steers turned and sprang at him, throwing him heavily upon the plank road and trampling upon him. Mr. PIERCE was picked up insensible and remained so for a long time. He was better on the 11th. He was on his way from Fairfield to Maine after his family, It is doubtful if he will be able to continue his journey.
